The Amazing Spider-man 2 introduces Green Goblin, Rhino and Electro for definite – all who have appeared in the team at various stages in the past – but it’s clear from trailer footage that Doctor Octopus and Vulture are also teased.

Goddard was previously tipped to be Netflix’s Daredevil showrunner, so it’s unknown how his big-screen commitments will impact on his small-screen plans.
